June 7th
Hello and welcome to another day in Doctor Who history, and we'll be starting with the Second Doctor's epic 10-part final adventure, The War Games, which was nearing its conclusion. The story had been losing viewers every week, despite it being considered a classic today. This anti-penultimate episode shed almost 1.5 million from part 7, with just 3.5 million viewers tuning in. Then it's new-Who time, and a much healthier audience of 7.84 million were watching 2008s Forest of the Dead. No-one knows exactly how many stuck around for that week's episode of Doctor Who Confidential, over on BBC Three, but in an example of one of their most pun-tastic titles it was called River Runs Deep.
Join us again tomorrow for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the spin-offs aired, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Doctor Who history.
